(Wally Wilson/Paul Nelson/Larry Boone) She was taught the world was small That it's all dirt and dust Sunday school and country songs Things a girl can trust She'll learn her lesson well She played her part But those back roads couldn't give What was missing in her heart You can make love staring at the stars From the cold back seat of a beat up car But there's only so far that a small town girl can go When the sun comes up its still the same old sun Cause the moon don't hang out on Border Town Road She thinks of all the reasons Why she outta stay right here A river that runs deep and wide A sky thats always clear She knows she can live her life Just to watch those seasons change What's she supposed to do with those relentless dreams You can make love staring at the stars From the cold back seat of a beat up car But there's only so far that a small town girl can go When the sun comes up its still the same old sun Cause the moon don't hang out on Border Town Road In her room she packs her clothes To the glow of a distant light She knows the moon is shining Somewhere on the other side You can make love staring at the stars From the cold back seat of a beat up car But there's only so far that a small town girl can go When the sun comes up its still the same old sun Cause the moon don't hang out on Border Town Road
